            Link helped a delirious Zelda to her feet. "I'm happy now, right?" She asked. "You need to get some sleep, altering emotions takes a lot out of you," Link said. He carried her over to his bed and she lay down. He shut the door behind him and went down to breakfast.

            Marth was the only one at the table when he reached the dining hall. "The girl came down and told me to tell you she's eating in her room," Marth said without looking at Link. He assumed he meant Saria. Marth was twirling a rose between his fingers, studying it intently. A few petals had fallen onto the table and were stirring from a breeze. "Is that for me?" Link asked sarcastically. Marth glared at him. "It was for Zelda," He said sternly then dropped the rose on the table. "Do you know where she is?" Marth inquired. "She's in my bed," Link said, meaning for it to sound exactly the way it did. Marth stood up. "What is your problem? Are you jealous of me?" Marth asked. "Hah! Jealous of a rich palace jackass? Hardly," Link said. "Then what is it? I've apologized and you're still being an ass to me!" Marth spat. "I just don't like you much," Link said. (A/N what's your beef Linky-poo?) "I don't fancy you either!" Marth yelled. Link smirked and sat gruffly in a chair to wait for breakfast. Marth grabbed the rose and walked out. It became apparent after a few minutes that he had missed breakfast so Link went back to his room to wait for lunch. It seemed like that was all one could do in the castle, wait.

            He found Zelda still sleeping when he returned and thought it best not to wake her. He walked out onto the balcony and sat. Sat and looked out over the market, at the people who had simple lives. At the people who didn't have to save anybody, or be stuck in the castle. Sometimes he wished he was someone else. "I guess I can't complain, I do have the best girl in the world," Link sighed, and then smiled at the thought of Saria.

            Zelda didn't wake until dinner. Link, Marth, and the King had started without her and Saria still hadn't come down from her room. The men were finishing up the first course when a very sleepy-looking Zelda walked in. "Hello Marth!" she said with an affectionate look on her face. "Hello....princess," Marth said, very confused at the sudden change in her demeanor. Zelda shot Marth many more quixotic looks throughout the meal. "So, the wedding, what was the date again?" King Harnikan asked. "April," Zelda said, not taking her eyes off of Marth. "Oh wonderful! You finally came to your senses Zelda! Good girl!" The King said. "I don't know what you're talking about," replied Zelda. Marth smiled at Zelda, she smiled back. Link felt sorry for Zelda because this wasn't true love. "Any word from Rauru?" Link asked the King. "No, but I tell you, if that Ganon does escape and shows his ugly face around here, he has another thing coming," The King said. "I know I'll defend the kingdom," Link said gallantly. "Oh, stop showing off!" Zelda teased then turned to Marth. "You will fight right?" She asked. Marth watched a rose petal on the table and remained silent.
